Default 370z NISMO RIMS

The kit is horrible but the rims are hot! It also has a 0.6-inch wider track than the Sport-package 370Z, due to the wider rims of the lightweight forged-aluminum Rays wheels. They measure 19-by-9.5 inches in front and 19-by-10.5 inches in back.

Yeah, I like these too. Looks like they may be a bit lighter then the factory sport wheels. Do you have the offsets for them?
I want to run a 305/30/19 rear, so the 10.5 will be a better fit then the stock 10" Now, I wonder what the cost will be, hopefully inline with the last Nismo wheels.

Can't wait to find out if these are available separately. Definitely SICK SICK SICK!!! I could do without the rest of the Nismo edition - Plus I want my NAV and leather.

I asked my dealer to ask Nissan if they can get these wheels for me for my new 370 when I order it. Can't hurt to ask...

I really like the sport package wheels - way more than I thought I would from pictures I saw before I bought my 370. IMO they are possibly the best OEM wheels ever for a car in this price range. they are gorgeous wheels.

But the Nismo wheels with the better offset just looks sleeker and meaner IMO. I like that they kept the forked spokes, but made the spokes themselves straight. beautiful wheels, just slightly edging out the sport wheels IMO.

Its a hard choice to make, mainly because the Sport wheels are on the car and require no more $$$.

I think both sets of wheels for the 370 look great.

This is the first time I've bought a new car and not wanted to instantly change out the wheels.

I would like to get them powdercoated though, was thinking a charcoal/black color for my chicane.

I definitely agree, this is one of the first cars Ive bought that I didnt want to change the wheels right away, myself. I just think the Nismo wheels almost look a little plain, compared to the sport package.

I have the base model...no sport... And seeing them lined up I would kill for my base wheels in a larger size, but I do like these Nismo's

I mainly like them because they are wider and have a more correct looking offset.

Yeah, it's kind of a toss up. I think the only reason I like the Nismo a bit better is that they are .50 wider for front and rear, which will accommodate the tire sizes that I want to run. Plus they look like they could be a little lighter and would look awesome with some drilled and slotted rotors
